About

Your day, your way.

Story

Your wedding is your own. You should be in charge. Your love, your relationship and your life is one of a kind and the ceremony needs to reflect that.

I am an open minded and welcoming person who believes your love needs to be celebrated for what it is - unique. No two couples are the same and no two couples acknowledge and celebrate their love in the same way.

Every ceremony I take part in will be unique in every way and all those quirky ideas and weird requests you have will be welcomed with open arms. The ceremony will be snappy, fun, non-religious and leave you with a memory of pure love.

I am an award winning writer with a determined and swift work ethic. My hope is to generate ceremonies that speak specifically to any given couple and their relationship. Tailoring the vows, readings and signing of the registry to fit the needs of the couple whether that be heart-felt, exhilarating, hilarious, or all three.

I have performed in front of audiences of over 10,000 people in Canada, the USA, Australia and all over New Zealand as an actor, host, MC and improviser.

The funerals I officiate are treated with loving care and respectful compassion. The ceremonies focus more on "celebrating the life of" than "mourning the loss of".

So, if you're looking for a unique ceremony where you call the shots, then get in touch and we'll talk turkey (or ceremonies, whichever you prefer)

"My ceremonies, like any rituals, are a rite of passage. A wedding is a witnessed union, made with solemn vows. A funeral is a witnessed departure, a collective farewell. These ceremonies offer a chance for family and friends to witness together a transitional moment in their own and others’ lives.People tell me I am a kind, funny, pragmatic, approachable and creative man. I have lived in Brighton for nearly 25 years and for almost all that time worked in the media industry, a lot of it for the BBC. I am a widower, so have experience of Love and Loss, and Love again. I also have three young daughters to keep me on my toes."
